Good point. another thing is will they have a price list displayed. or do you get a 10 second flash?

it's silly when 'normal' shops can still display theirs for another 3 years.

hiding them from view will not stop people taking up the habit. the habit isn't started from liking the look of a packet, loving the price, so buying a few to take home.

all this is (apart from another step towards the nanny state) is the government wants to be seen as doing something. they want us to smoke as much as possible because there's billions of pounds worth of profit in it. as long as they're seen to be doing something then they are quite happy to take the billions of pounds worth of tax money made from the drug.
